SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1064

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Katrina Pierson for her ongoing efforts to raise political awareness in Garland, Texas, and across the nation; and

WHEREAS, A self-made woman and successful professional, she has in recent years become a high-profile and highly motivated political activist; and

WHEREAS, Raised by a single mother, she helped to raise her siblings while she also worked and attended school; the experience impressed upon her the importance of personal values and long-term goals; and

WHEREAS, Today, Katrina Pierson is a respected professional in the field of medical practice management, but she is perhaps best known for her work in founding the Garland Tea Party, and she continues to serve on the Tea Party Caucus advisory committee; and

WHEREAS, In great demand for her conservative political commentary on a wide variety of issues, she has been a frequent guest on local news shows, talk radio, and national television and Internet news programs, and she has worked tirelessly in her own community to advance the political beliefs that she holds dear; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd Legislature, hereby commend Katrina Pierson for her continued commitment to raising public awareness and engagement in political processes and extend to her sincere best wishes in all her future endeavors; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
